Interesting property. Stayed there for 2 nights and it is quite unique. The rooms have Super high ceilings, doors that are 4 inches thick and comfortable beds. This is a historic property and appears on the list of Manchester’s most haunted. It really does have that spooky vibe but it is not unpleasant and is frankly very impressive and interesting to stay here. Avoid the basement rooms. Great to explore. Fabulous breakfast. The haunted staircase is sensational.

Had a great stay at the clocktower! Everything was beautiful and clean. The reception area itself is very impressive. The only downfall was housekeeping. On the day we checked in, we received turn down service at night. Our room was left one tony’s chocolate (which is my favourite) between 2 of us. My brother and his partner did not receive anything even though they were just next to us. The following day, we didn’t receive housekeeping in the morning or the evening. Not sure why. Neither of our rooms did which was disappointing.

Staff were really lovely, place is v comfy , great location... but the night we stayed was a bit chaotic. Room service order wasn't taken so over 90 mins waiting, blocked sink, then room double booked and another couple walked in on us! Staff were brilliant in rectifying issues - on any other night it would no doubt be great.

Beautiful hotel and our room was huge with a lovely high ceiling. Our room was slightly noisy in the night but that’s to be expected in a city on a Saturday night.
